The discussion revolves around a numerical problem involving a proton's mass, charge, initial speed, and its interaction with a uniform electric field. Participants are tasked with determining the strength of the electric field based on the proton's speed reduction after traveling a specified distance.
Several approaches have been suggested, with some participants favoring the work-energy theorem as a potentially simpler method. There is an ongoing exploration of different formulas and their relevance to the problem, but no consensus has been reached on a single method to pursue.
Participants are navigating the constraints of the problem, including the specific parameters given for the proton's mass, charge, and initial speed, as well as the distance traveled in the electric field.
Newton's Second Law of MotionSamia qureshi said:what formula should i use to solve it
i will try this also Thank you :)Said Ahmad said:I think it's easier to use work-energy theorem
